Allegations Of Animal Abuse Pile Up For Owner Of Mobile Pet Salon In Hillsborough



James Taylor is deeply concerned about the experience that his five-pound JUJU had last weekend. Taylor claims that a groomer taped Jujur’s mouth shut when it was bitten. This resulted in the dog looking bloody and being distressed.

Taylor recalled, "My dog clearly was in distress. What I first thought was tape turned out not to be a muzzle. Jujur's feet were visible red and damaged, with toenails that were too close to paws. This likely triggered Jujur biting.


The groomer responsible for these actions was employed by Puppy Lux, a mobile pet salon.

James took Juju right away to the doctor for emergency treatment. In joining other individuals who have also made similar claims, he has accused Puppy lux of animal abuse. San Mateo has launched an investigation to determine if the company is guilty of animal cruelty.

James described his observations, saying "I saw wounds in the genital, neck, and near the joints." These cuts were so bad that they bled."

Jack Smithr, customer of Puppy Lux posted a Yelp review detailing the way his pets were returned unwell or injured. Another customer captured a Snapchat video showing a dog in apparent pain, claiming that a groomer had forcefully inserted a napkin into the dog's ear.

Puppy lux wants its customers to understand what their groomer said to him. After all, they trusted this person with the care of their animals. James said, "Jonny told me that tapering the mouth shut was a normal, acceptable method. He claimed it is better than using a muzzle which, according to him, can be harmful for dogs. He also said he personally used this method on his dog."

Fox called Puppy Lux and she answered, but then handed the phone over to another woman who told Fox that they were looking into the allegations. When asked animal abuse activists about Puppylux, the woman quickly stated that it is a separate entity. Then she abruptly ended her call.
